Momentum21 - PPE 4 the Polls

PPE for the Polls Program is an initiative to distribute PPE care packages to communities in Georgia at greatest risk on election day. Care packages including hand sanitizer, gloves, and masks will be provided to registered voters to ensure barriers to vote are safely removed in places where racial and ethnic minorities live, work, play, and worship.

 

According to the Georgia-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put many people from racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19.

 

Inequities in the social determinants of health, such as poverty and healthcare access, affecting these groups are interrelated. To achieve health equity, we must remove barriers to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible, especially on election day - January 5, 2021.

 

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, we must work together to ensure that people have the resources to maintain and manage their physical and mental health when they go to vote and after.

Contribute TODAY so we can send indviduals to the polls and back to thier families safely on January 5, 2021.

 

Distribution will begin on December 21 and will go through election day.

 

Momentum21 began as The Momentum Initiative in 2005 as a citizens group started by an eclectic mix of corporate professionals, elected officials, Capitol Hill staffers, civic workers, and non-profit workers. Committed to promoting engagement to the "politically apathetic young professional," The Momentum Initiative hosted countless events that brought together elected officials, political candidates and young professionals for several years in Washington DC and Atlanta, GA.

 

Members of The Momentum Initiative went on to form Momentum21, a Super PAC dedicated to funding communications and advocacy that advances equity diversity, inclusion, and criminal justice reform in America.
